This is not the first time my cake-baking has found its way into my poetry. Here's my Birthday Cake poem from NaPoWriMo12. And if you've visited this blog with any regularity, you've seen my cake in many a monthly photo mosaic. My cake even showed up in a post on structure vs. freedom.
In a couple of weeks, I'll be baking a carrot cake for my friend Lisa's birthday. Change is good, and it's loads of fun to spell out her name in little cream-cheese-frosting carrots! Stay tuned for pictures!

It seemed like a good day to go lighthearted, in a prose poem format.

Oh this cake, chocolate is my favorite, did you share a recipe before? I feel like you may have, but I can't find it in my links. I am feeling the need to bake. :)
ReplyDeleteOoh, I love this! What a well-baked cake poem. :) And yes, definitely a wonder of the world in my life! xo
ReplyDeleteLove this poem. I like that that you used just one word for each letters. I catch up with Sunrise and Chocolate: http://deowriter.wordpress.com/2014/04/27/napowrimo-day-28-sunrise-and-chocolate/
ReplyDeleteMary Lee, In anticipation of your poem today, and in celebration of good times & good food, I made your cake yesterday! So decadent--You can see a picture here: http://stepsandstaircases.tumblr.com/post/84146161280/learning-new-recipes-making-something-from

As a fellow chocolate lover and cake-baker, this poem goes right to my heart. I am in awe of your talent for choosing exactly the right format for each poem; this is perfection.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this project, Mary Lee. Although I've been one of those "intermittent wanderers," I've enjoyed following along on your journey. I do hope to be back later with something for imagination.
Tech Boy baked a chocolate cake last week for his coworkers, in honor of this poem to come!!
ReplyDeleteI was a little envious. I couldn't justify knifing a new notch in my belt, sadly...
